Does anyone know what the cast of MST3K's Favorite episodes are? I remember the cinematic Titanic group had a list of their least favorite and favorite episodes but I can't place it.

In a video interview with Joel, he says he really likes I Accuse My Parents.
And I know Trace has said that he really doesn't like The Movie.

I remember reading in the episode guide that Frank liked Catalina Caper.

I had a conversation with Mary Jo about this once, and she said something to the effect that they rarely remember one episode from another. Since this is the second most frequently asked question they get*, they'd often just pull a title out of thin air just to keep the interview going.
However, she has mentioned her hatred for "Overdrawn" on multiple occasions. So I think that's legit.
*the question she said they got the most was, "Where did you get the movies?"

That makes sense, and there a number of places in the Ep Guide where whoever wrote that one either says they don't remember much or that they had to write it because they were only one who remembered it. But they do seem to remember ones they don't like much. That said, at one of the CT shows I was at, Frank did mention that he truly did think that Catalina Caper was charming in only a semi-ironic way. Good in a bad way for a bad movie, or something like that. But then Joel's said that they failed with that one and never did another comedy because of it. Go figure... |

I remember Frank once saying his favorite episode changes on an hourly basis.  |

Well not exactly, Wild World of Batwoman and Hobgoblins tried to be comedies. |

Since this is the second most frequently asked question they get*, they'd often just pull a title out of thin air just to keep the interview going. Yeah, it's important to remember that this was their job, and that unlike us, they probably don't rewatch episodes on a regular basis. For a vast majority of their episodes, I'd imagine they didn't really watch them again after they were done with them. What might be a better question in that vein would be to ask what type of movies would elicit a "oh no, not this again" reaction upon their initial encounter, and what type would elicit a "oh boy, this is going to be fun"-type reaction. Frank, I can imagine, from what he said in interviews, had none of the former and many of the latter. But did Mary Jo experience a sinking feeling every time a video-taped film showed up? Did Joel thrill when narration started pegging the movie as a silly attempt at 50s science fiction? Did Trace cringe when the color of the initial shot pegged the movie as early-mid 70's? The IMDb entry for Girl in Gold Boots lists that one as Mike's favorite, but, like many pieces of trivia on the site, doesn't have any citation for it. I've read something online that he enjoyed watching it again months after they made it, but nothing from Mike himself suggesting that it was his favorite, so I remain skeptical. I can very easily imagine someone taking the line I saw and turning it into "it's his favorite!" misreading. |

Interesting. In conversations I've had with Mary Jo, she's referenced Clonus as being her favorite. But, yeah, I'm in agreement with Mr. A; she hates Overdrawn. |
